4 time size went Itl
coronation fifty years ago. This wa,
via Parliament street, Whitehall, Cock
spur street, Pail Mall, St. James streets
Piccadilly, Constitution Hill to Buck
ingham Palace.
When the royal procession reached
Parliament street it found the roads as
densely crowded as they were two hours
before, and in some places
more so. Along Parliament street, ex-
cept at the government offices,
seats had been erected and gaily decor
ated with bunting, etc. The grand
Horse Guards and alongside the Chapel
Royal, was a memorable sight, the Queen
gratefully acknowledging the salutes
and cheering of its occupants. Passing
through Trafalgar square into Pail Mall
the MONDAY scenes We're reenacted. The
whole fronts of the spacious clubs in
Pail Mall We're alive with sightseers.
even the staid members of the Atheneum
Club were as jubilant as others. The
Reform and Carlton Clubs We'd with
each other in enthusiasm. A grand
stand was also erected in front of the
War Office, and here the upper officials
took all the best seats.
As the procession passed into st.
James street the Queen took long
glance and smiled at an aged lady who
was at one of the windows in ST. James
Palace. 1t turned out that the aged
lady was the Dnchess of Cambridge.
Passing up st. James street, the whole
of which was effusively decorated the
pageant again turned into Piccadilly,
which was still literally packed, the en-
thusiastic sightseers not content with
having one view at Westminster had
pushed across st. James and Green parks
to get another view in Piccadilly. The
swaying of the crowds in some places
was terrific until Wellington arch was
again reached, when the procession
finally proceeded at a somewhat smart
er pace up Constitutional Hill and
once more reached Buckingham Palace,
driving in at the grand entrance amid
the cheers of tens of thousands of peo-
pie. The return was made amid a pro-
longed and unbroken succession of pop
ular acclamatiOns, the Queen respond
ing by bowling to the right and left. The
procession reached Buckingham palace
shortly after O'Clock, and five minutes
later her Majesty passed into the Palace
amidst tumultuous cheering, with her
escort of generals on either side. The
Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury,
who had hurried to the palace by a
shorter way from the Abbey. were pres
ent to receive her.
The Queen bore her journey well, and
was seen soon after returning laugh
ing and smiling at the royal children.
who were upon the main balcony of
the palace and kissing her hands to them.
AMERICANS AT THE SERVICE.
Among the Americans present at the
services in the Abbey were United
States Minister Lawton, Senators Nc
Pherson and Hall, Congressman Perry
Belmont, Ex-Governor English, of Con-
necticut; MIR. Gilfillan, of Minnesota;
Professor Parker, of Dartmouth College;
Joseph Pulitzer, James Russell Lowell
and James G.. Blaine.
The Queens dress was not striking;
across her breast she wore the broad blue
ribbon of tine Garter. The only other
decoration she wore was that of the Or
der of Coburg-Gotha.
STRIKING FIGURES IN THE PROCESSION.
The most conspicuous figure hf~the
procession was the German Crown
Prince, whose magnificent figure, set off
by snow-white uniform. shown con-
spicuOusly among the princely throng.
The Prince of Wales, who wore the fa-
miliar red uniform. seemed insignificant
in comparison to Grand Duke Sergius of
Russia, who wore a curious but pictur-
esque cape. and was, after the German
Crown Prince, much the most striking
figure.
INJURED BY THE HEAT AND CRUSH.
By the time the royal procession
got started from Buckingham
Palace the weather had become |
pretty warm, and the breeze. So
refreshing all the morning, began to
subside. While the procession was pass |
ing through Pail Mall, three persons in
that thOrOughfare were sunstruck. \ |
of persons along the route were
into insensibility and were re-
moved to the hospitals. Several police
men We're overcome by heat and taken |
home i'm ambulances.
THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.
The horse ridden by the Marquis of |
Lorne was restive while the procession |
was moving along Constitution Hill and
threw the Marquis. He managed to
alight unhurt. He walked alongside
the Queens carriage a short distance
and then mounted another horse and
continued his journey by shorter route
to the Ab5ey, having fallen behind and
his place as one of the royal
escort to the Queens carriage.
THE JUBILEE A SUCCESS.
The Jubilee demonstration was stu
pendOus success. At least one million
people We're crowded along the route of
the royal professionalism three miles in
length. The impression left on the minds
Of those who saw the pageant is that
whatever boundless wealth, military
pomp and illustrious rank could do to
create and heighten the effects of the
state show of loyalty or demonstrate
the affection of the people for their
was done for to-day's demon
stration. and that the result surpassed
anything of the kind ever seen i'm
in modern times at least.
